Panduit Category 6A 10 Gb/s UTP PC W/ EA - UTP6AX25VL

Panduit UTP6AX25VL Cat 6A Patch Cord

Overview

The Panduit UTP6AX25VL is a 25-foot Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cord designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission. This violet-colored cord features 24 AWG solid conductors and high-performance modular plugs, with solid foil tape construction to mitigate alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity for demanding network applications. Its tangle-free latch streamlines installation and maintenance by preventing snags and facilitating quick release, which is critical for efficient moves, adds, and changes in structured cabling systems. The integrated RapidID barcode simplifies port mapping with compatible software.

Compatibility

This patch cord is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6A and ISO 11801 Class EA standards, making it suitable for high-speed data networks. It is rated for 2500 cycles with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3 and Type 4) Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, ensuring reliable power delivery to connected devices without signal degradation. It meets ANSI/TIA-1096-A requirements and IEC 60603-7 specifications, ensuring broad interoperability with standard RJ45 connectors and networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable has a CM flammability rating, suitable for use in riser pathways. Its 0.250-inch (6.4mm) diameter and solid conductor construction require careful handling to avoid kinking. The integrated tangle-free latch design simplifies disconnection, minimizing the risk of damage to the connector or surrounding ports during network adjustments.
